SALT LAKE CITY — Martin Schiller wasn’t alone on his flight from Germany to the United States of America last fall.

Once his plane touched down here on Friday, Sept. 15, 2017, the newly hired Salt Lake City Stars coach experienced the moment with his wife, Katja, and young daughters, Milou and Ida.

At that time, coming to America wasn’t just the title of a movie to the Schiller family it became reality for them once they sucked in the thin Utah air.

After previously living in Europe, they quickly found a way to adjust, but not without noticing any changes.
